Tom Durham didn't start out naïve or inexperienced. As the head of a media department responsible for creating commercial advertisements and other videos, he had legitimate production skills. He was also ready and willing to devote all his waking time and money to a side project.

But into his fifth year of making his first feature-length movie, 95ers, Tom realized he might be in over his head. This sci-fi epic required a full crew, not to mention elaborate sets, miniatures, and intense visual effects and compositing work.

Just when it seemed like he might never be able to release a complete version of the movie, he turned to Kickstarter. There he found an unexpected outpouring of financial support and an entirely new audience for his film.

Listen to Tom tell his story and see exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from 95ers in this installment of The Creative Spark.

This behind-the-scenes video captures the making of the "Killing Kennedy" campaign. Shot over 4 days in Richmond by Cinematographer Cale Glendening, you'll get a glimpse at the collaboration and coordination that it took to pull this entire production together. 6 different sets, multiple talent, key art and photography shooting plus Phantom Flex, Red Epic and 8mm cameras. An incredible shoot, telling an amazing story. For a more in-depth making of this entire campaign, visit my blog at theclientblog.com
